Police monitor traffic near buses BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

The Corinth Police Department is keeping an eye on traffic around school buses after several reports of motorists failing to yield when buses are loading or unloading students. “We want to encourage every-

body to be safe and use caution around our kids,” said Chief Ralph Dance. “We are monitoring the traffic and will be issuing citations.” Cass Street is one of the locations where failure to yield has been observed. “Cass Street is a four-lane,

but you still are required to stop and not go around the bus,” said Dance. It has also happened in the middle school area. “If the bus driver gets the tag number and a description of the vehicle, they can sign an affidavit and have a warrant issued for the driver,” said Dance.

“That has been done in the past and is being done now.” Also, speeding fines are increased in school zones. The city is also continuing to make an effort to encourage people to park legally when parallel parking downtown. A number of complaints have sur-

faced recently in situations with cars parked against the flow of traffic. Mayor Tommy Irwin said a number of residents have expressed concern about safety issues caused by illegal parking. Parking issues have followed the increase in activity downtown, the chief said.

City will re-open sale of trash carts BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Due to demand, Corinth is reopening the sale of its old green trash carts. They can be purchased beginning Thursday and will be available for about a week. The cost is $10, and the procedure will be the same as before — visit the tax office at City Hall to pay for the cart and then take the

receipt to the street department on West Shiloh Road to pick up the cart between the hours of 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. An individual can buy up to 45 carts. When the containers first went on sale Aug. 3, the city sold 600 of them within the first two hours as trucks lined Please see CARTS | 6A

Print raises funds for poetry project BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

Capturing pictures with words, artist Jaylene Whitehurst is offering a special limited edition print of her popular “Liftoff: Bird’s Eye View” painting as the Crossroads Poetry Project celebrates its eighth season. “I think the work the poetry project is doing is very important work and I was looking for a way to support it,” said White-

hurst. “So, I approached the project’s president Autry Davis with the idea of doing a special print and combining it with poetry which would be sold with part of the proceeds going to the project. He was enthusiastic about it and we decided it was a win for everyone.” “In keeping with the theme of capturing pictures with words, I was looking for an image people would respond to and instantly thought of my bird painting. It

has a lot of texture to it and is something people seem to be drawn to.” A mixed medium art-piece, the painting was created from acrylic paint, gel, glitter, tissue paper and real feathers. Please see PRINT | 6A Staff photo by Kimberly Shelton

Pickwick Electric raising rates by 3.9 percent BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

SELMER, Tenn. — Electric power rates in McNairy County will soon be rising for the customers of Pickwick Electric Cooperative. The rates will increase by 3.9 percent beginning on Oct. 1. Pickwick Electric services customers over a wide area, including portions of Hardin County, Hardeman, and Chester counties in Tennessee and Alcorn

and Tishomingo counties in Mississippi. The cooperative has approximately 20,500 customers and maintains nearly 2,196 miles of lines. “One of the best parts of managing an electric cooperative is the ability, indeed the responsibility, to focus on providing the best possible service at the least possible cost,” state PEC in a press release. “Costs of everything we use to operate,

maintain and repair our system have seen substantial increases. Couple these with a loss of sales from our commercial and industrial members, one of those being the Aqua Glass plant in Adamsville, and we find it necessary to increase our rates.” Effective Oct. 1, 2015, PEC will increase the monthly residential customer charge to $21.90 and the energy charge by 0.1 cent per kilowatt hour.

Your power bill has two components, a fixed component (customer charge) and a variable component (energy charge). The intent of the customer charge is to cover the costs incur to build and maintain the system that carries the electricity to your home or place of business. TVA will also implement a change in wholesale rates on Oct. 1 to result in about a 1.5 percent retail rate increase. This

will be first rate increase for PEC in over four years. What does this mean for the PEC members? The two changes combined will result in a 3.9 % increase in PEC’s retail revenue. The new rate schedule will be posted on the PEC website on Oct. 1. PEC members are encouraged to visit www. energyright.com and participate in the eScore selfaudit that will help them find ways to save energy

and money. “We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to experience the many changes ahead of us,” PEC said in the press release. Pickwick Electric moved into a new building that cost $10.75 million earlier this year. The facility is located at Highway 142 in Selmer. PEC has said in the past the new building would be paid for in 30 years.

Corinth High Class of 1965 will celebrate 50th reunion BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

The Corinth High School graduating class of 1965 will celebrate its 50th class reunion on Friday, Oct. 2–Saturday, Oct. 3 in Corinth. Approximately 70 classmates, spouses and friends plan to be in attendance for the weekend’s activities. Beginning at 6 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 2 at The Franklin Courtyard in downtown Corinth, the crowd will gather for a casual time of reminiscing, enjoy heavy hors d’ oeuvres and dance to the music of the 60s. Class member Jimmy Laughlin has prepared the music play-list and will serve as the DJ for the evening. Dr. Richard Warriner, master of ceremonies, will welcome the class and give an outline of the weekend events. All class members are asked to bring scrapbooks, pictures, yearbooks and other memorabilia to help everyone remember all the activities the class participated in through the years. Along with the 1965 graduating class, members of the Corinth High School administration, faculty and staff are invited to attend. Dr. and Mrs. Julian Prince, Mrs.

Glenn Parker, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Smith, Coach and Mrs. Johnny Plummer, Mr. and Mrs. Dean Pearce, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ellington and Mrs. Richard Sharp all plan to attend. The Corinth Coca-Cola Company has generously agreed to provide cold drinks and water for the reunion’s activities. “Mr. Hall and his staff have graciously made their auditorium available to us,” said Class Spokesman Joe Vann who also serves as one of the organizers of the reunion. “In addition, they have been extremely helpful in providing the necessary items required.” At 10 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 3, the class will gather at the Corinth Middle School auditorium (the former old high school auditorium), located at 1000 East Fifth Street for a Memorial Service. The service will honor the 31 class members who have passed away since 1963. There were a total of 138 class members of the CHS Class of 1965 who graduated. Family and friends of the deceased are invite to attend the short service. Following the Memorial Service, the class will tour the old high school building while hopefully, remembering all their expe-

riences from 50 years ago. Class President Thomas Phillips will preside over the special service. Phillips has spent most of his adult life working for and traveling with the Billy Graham and Franklin Graham Crusades out of North Carolina and until this year, was unable to attend any of the classes other reunions, according to Vann. “We are honored to have him speak and lead our service,” he said. “We hope everyone who comes to the service will bring their photos of our deceased classmates as we remember those no longer with us.” Following the Memorial Service and tour, the class will gather at Richard Warriner’s cabin on Pickwick Lake for lunch. Yard games and boat trips on the lake are anticipated, assuming the weather is fair. This will present an excellent opportunity for the class to relax and enjoy each other’s company. “We hope everyone, who is able, will attend,” said Vann. “We all look forward to to our 60th Class of ‘65 Reunion in 10 years.” (Anyone with questions concerning the weekend’s activities is welcome to call Joe Vann at 662-2124488 or Richard Warriner at 662-790-4908.)

Today in History Today is Sunday, September 27, the 270th day of 2015. There are 95 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On September 27, 1995, the government unveiled its redesigned $100 bill, featuring a larger, off-center portrait of Benjamin Franklin. (Yet another redesign, featuring a high-tech makeover aimed at thwarting counterfeiters, was announced in April 2010.)

On this date: In 1540, Pope Paul III issued a papal bull establishing the Society of Jesus, or Jesuits, as a religious order. In 1928, the United States said it was recognizing the Nationalist Chinese government. In 1939, Warsaw, Poland, surrendered after weeks of resistance to invading forces from Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union during World War II. In 1964, the government publicly released the report of the Warren Commission, which concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald had acted alone in assassinating President John F. Kennedy. In 1979, Congress gave its final approval to forming the U.S. Department of Education. In 1989, Columbia Pictures Entertainment Inc. agreed to a $3.4 billion cash buyout by Sony Corp. In 1994, more than 350 Republican congressional candidates gathered on the steps of the U.S. Capitol to sign the “Contract with America,” a 10-point platform they pledged to enact if voters sent a GOP majority to the House.

Across the Region ed” volunteer assistant NEMCC memorial scholarship endowed basketball coach for BOONEVILLE– At Northeast Mississippi Community College’s annual faculty/staff inservice meeting held last month, the Northeast Development Foundation announced the endowment of the Earline “Woodsie” Woods Memorial Scholarship. Established in 2005 by long-time friends Ken and Barbara Shackelford, contributions to the scholarship fund have been made regularly to commemorate birthdays and holidays. “Woodsie” as Woods was known throughout community/junior college circles across the state was a graduate and long-time employee of Northeast. She worked in the school’s business office from 1954-1994 when she retired as fiscal officer. More than that, however, “Woodsie” was a mentor and friend to countless Northeast students. She was an avid supporter of Northeast Tiger athletics and proudly served as “self-appoint-

several head coaches during their tenures on the sidelines of Bonner Arnold Coliseum. She was a member of the Northeast Alumni Association and the Development Foundation. She was inducted into the Northeast Sports Hall of Fame as a member of the inaugural class in 2008. “Woodsie” passed away December 31, 2014. Under her advanced direction a portion of her estate went to establish a scholarship fund at her beloved Northeast. Northeast’s Foundation offers a comprehensive program of giving opportunities and is specifically responsible for gifts to the college involving estate planning, real estate, insurance, endowments, annuities, trusts, pooled income funds or other special donations that require ongoing management or binding agreements. It exists to serve Northeast by providing programs and benefits not fully provided by other sources.

Booneville officers make felony arrests BOONEVILLE — The Booneville Police Department has made several felony arrests in recent days. Among those arrested in separate, unrelated cases are: ■ Shakella Leslie, 22, of 450 Kilpatrick St., Baldwyn, charged with passing a forged or altered prescription. She is accused of attempting to pass an altered prescription at Booneville Community Pharmacy, Ramey said. “She was still at the pharmacy when police officers took her into custody.” Her bond was set at $10,000. ■ Amanda Garza, 33, of Brewer Street, Booneville, charged with possession of methamphetamine. “Police had responded to a complaint at the

laundromat on Second Street. Garza was there when officers arrived. She was later found to be in possession of syringe that was containing meth,” he said. She was arrested and taken to the Prentiss County jail. Her bond was set at $5,000. ■ Judy L. Noe, 53, of 741 CR 547, Booneville, charged with one count felony bad check. She is accused of passing a bad check in the amount of $109.17 to Walden’s Supermarket. Her bond was $500. ■ Justin Andrew Robinson, 57, of 507 South Lake St., Booneville, charged with one count felony bad check. He is accused of passing a bad check in the amount of $115.57 at Walden’s Supermarket. His bond was set at $500.

In partnership with Atmos Energy, who helped out more than 1,400 businesses in utility savings, the initiative saves $380 annually for small business owners by reducing rates and having alternative deposit options, said Public Service Commissioner Brandon Presley, who launched the initiative. Presley said Mississippi has the most robust incentive program and number of participants and savings in any state in the country so far.

All entries were blind judged by three carefully selected judges who were selected because of their strong photography knowledge. Photos were judged for use of lighting, clarity, composition, expressions, creativity, exposure and color. The fundraiser helped raise around $500 for the non-profit museum. “I do not enter the Crossroads Museum

Photo Contest to win ribbons or cash awards,” said Cheryl. “Since the day I moved to Corinth, I’ve tried to support the the community through many avenues, and the museum’s photo contest is just one such way.” “Winning Best of Show this year is both a humbling and proud moment,” she added.

rainbow of colors said, ‘good night’,” said Cheryl. “It’s photos like this that truly tell my story. Photography is a creative outlet for me and a way for me to create works of art with my camera.” Not only did Cheryl think “Escapin’ Light” was a beautiful photo, so did the judges in the 2015 edition of the Crossroads Museum Photo Contest. Cheryl’s photo will be honored as Best of Show during a special open-to-

public reception at 2 p.m. today at the museum. The self-taught photographer will walk away with $150 and a Best of Show ribbon. All photos will remain on display at the Museum through Nov. 1. Taken in the “Twilight Hour” (around 6:30 p.m.) in November 2014, Cheryl used a Canon PowerShot SX50 HS hand held to shoot the image. “I did not set out to capture this specific image -- it was more of being aware of what was

around me, realizing perspective and lighting angles, certainly sensing a moment of creativity and then seizing that moment through the camera lens,” she said. “I used the rainbow colors of the sun’s rays against the side of our white Escape travel trailer as a guide when framing the photo.” The photographer said she only used Photo Shop Elements to sharpened the photo in post processing. “The image you see is what came straight out of

Letter to the editor

Delighted visitor recovers necklace To the editor: My husband and I just spent two great days in Corinth. We had a wonderful visit seeing the battlefields, shopping, etc., but the last hour of our stay before going to bed leaves us with a wonderful feeling of Corinth. Just before going to bed I realized I had lost a very expensive diamond necklace sometime late in the day and figured I’d never see it again. In desperation I called Ruby Tuesday’s just as they were closing since that’s where we had dinner. After describing the necklace, the manager told me not to worry. He had it and would stay there until we picked it up. I’m sure he was ready to go home. He said one of his employees had found it while sweeping the parking lot before closing and had turned it in. How fortunate was I to lose my necklace in a town and at a business with such honest people? I will never forget this. Carol LaNasa Sierra Vista, Arizona

Letter from the editor

Community full of good people Dear reader: Everywhere I go, people want to talk to me about what a horrible year it’s been in Corinth. Even Mississippi Auditor Stacy Pickering called Alcorn County a “culture of corruption” as our community made headlines across the state. It has been a tough new year -- indictments and sentencing of individuals and public officials, fatal gang-related shooting and the shooting of a city police officer - to mention a few. But I’ve had two things happen to me in my hometown of Corinth that have renewed my faith in mankind. While riding the Coyote Hunter Monster Truck at the Alcorn County Fair Thursday night with my grandson, I was horrified to learn I lost my SUV key during the ride. Ordering a new key pad is on my “to do” list as my key is a single which won’t stay in the pad. Although fair volunteers and the Enlow family who own the truck were not successful in finding the key, I returned Saturday for a second ride with my grandson and to show my appreciation for their efforts. Fair volunteer Chris Porterfield graciously gave us a ride home Thursday. My good luck continued Saturday over lunch when I discovered my debit card missing. Horrified once again, I got my receipts out and retraced my Friday steps. I was so relieved to learn someone had turned in my card at Kroger. My debit card and a drug card valued at $250 which anyone could have used was found in the floor at a checkout stand. Chris Porterfield and other fair volunteers and a Good Samaritan at Kroger -- these are the reasons I love Corinth. My wife has suspended my driving privileges for a period and is currently guarding our debit card, but based upon good behavior, I hope to back at the top of my game. Corinth, I love you and its good people. Mark Boehler Editor

Prayer for today Eternal God, help me to realize that life is not only endless but, whether I live in love and obedience, or wait in neglect and indifference, that I can never separate myself from thee. May I be diligent in worthy endeavors to do my best for thee. Amen.

Carly Fiorina: Major leaguer To invoke a baseball metaphor, Carly Fiorina has been called up from the minors to the major leagues. After her widely praised debate performance last week, she can expect “fastballs” to be thrown at her head, not only by some of her Republican opponents, but by Democrats. It has already started. The first pitch at Fiorina is the number of jobs lost during her tenure as the CEO of Hewlett-Packard. While some say she is technically correct that the company’s income grew while she ran it, thousands of people lost their jobs, as did many others during the 1990s economic downturn in the technology industry. There is a good answer for this beyond the technical one she has been giving and it can be grafted into an argument about the need to reduce the size and cost of the federal government. Just as trees need to be pruned to remain healthy and grow, so too must companies occasionally “prune” employees in order to grow, pay dividends to stockholders and eventually hire more people, including, on occasion, some who were previously laid-off.

Fiorina can help advance her candidacy by shifting the debate from lowCal ering taxes Thomas to pruning spending. Columnist This year, the federal government is projected to take in a record $3.18 trillion, according to the Office of Management and Budget. And yet, for 45 of the last 50 years, the government has overspent and had to borrow money to meet its spending addiction. Less spending reduces the “need” for more taxes. I asked Fiorina about this in an email. She replied: “Washington doesn’t know where all our tax dollars are going ... because they never examine any budget from top to bottom – and haven’t for decades. What we know is that every year, every government agency spends every dime they are entitled to – whether they need to or not – because they want to make sure the appropriations process is focused on the rate of increase for the following year.” The result, she says, is

“our government (is) so big, so bloated, and so corrupt that it no longer serves the people it was designed to serve.” She would move to a zerobased budgeting standard to force every government agency to justify what it spends. She should consider going a step further and force every agency not only to justify its budget, but its very existence. As Ronald Reagan quipped, “The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program.” Fiorina might promise, if elected, to call in a group of outside auditors who have no ties to anyone doing business with the federal government and conduct a top-to-bottom audit that would expose waste, fraud, abuse and unnecessary spending. Their findings would be presented to Congress. A President Fiorina and the public would then pressure Congress to accept its recommendations. Here’s something else Fiorina might do that Republicans in general are not known for: grab the compassion issue from Democrats and make it her own. Promise to mobilize the thousands of churches in

America and lead them in what they should be doing anyway -- helping the poor become less so. Two members of my church have decided to leave the comfortable confines of a Sunday school class and spend time at an inner-city mission in Washington, helping poor and homeless people acquire life skills that can lead to a job, independence and a sense of dignity. I have had similar experiences helping the less fortunate escape difficult circumstances and it pays better dividends than anything politics can offer. Real compassion is helping people out of poverty, not sending them a government check, which mostly sustains them in poverty. Fiorina should also begin featuring in her speeches and on platforms people who have overcome difficult circumstances as an inspiration to others. Historically, women seem to model compassion better than men. Fiorina should take advantage of this characteristic. Call it hardball with a soft cover.

School funding initiative faces tough road JACKSON — Mississippi’s initiative process was created to be complicated. This year, that’s clearer than ever. The Nov. 3 general election ballot includes two proposed constitutional amendments that deal with school funding. It’s a long section of the ballot, and one that is rife with the potential for voter confusion. Initiative 42 got on the ballot because more than 100,000 registered voters signed petitions. It would require the state to “provide for the establishment, maintenance and support of an adequate and efficient system of public schools,” and would allow people to file a lawsuit in chancery court if funding falls short. Measure 42-A was put on the ballot by legislators who have made clear the past several months that they’re trying to kill the citizen-led proposal. It would require the Legislature to “provide for the establishment, maintenance and support of an effective system of free public schools without judicial enforcement.” The similar wording is one potential point of con-

fusion. W h i l e 42 says the “state” has an obligation to schools, Emily 42-A says Wagster the “LegPettus islature” is in charge. Capitol Dome Translation: 42 would be a change and 42-A would keep things as they are now. The slightly different wording points to the potential role of the courts. Several others states, including Texas and Arkansas, have been sued by people who contend legislators have fallen short in funding schools, especially in areas with high concentrations of poverty. Supporters say Initiative 42 is an effort to force Mississippi to fund a stronger education system to improve the state’s long-term economic prospects. The current education budget formula has been in law since 1997, but it has been fully funded only two years. Republican legislative leaders say 42 could put one judge in charge of a big

chunk of the state budget. To amplify their message, they’re getting help from people who fear potential spending cuts in other state services, including a community college president who emailed colleagues last week and asked them to oppose 42. Another potential point of confusion is in the voting process itself. People are supposed to vote twice on the proposals. The first vote is either to accept one of the proposals, or to reject them both. The second vote is to choose between 42 and 42-A. Secretary of State Hosemann says even a voter who rejects both proposals in the first part gets to choose between 42 and 42-A in the second part. He says this gives people a voice in how their constitution would be amended, if it is. People might not understand this two-part process, which means there could be a significant drop-off in votes from the first part to the second. That makes it more likely the proposals will fail.

needs two things: — On the first part, it needs a majority vote on the question of accepting either the initiative or the alternative. — On the second part, one proposal must receive at least 40 percent of the total number of votes cast in that day’s election. A big drop-off in votes hurts the odds of meeting that threshold. The education funding proposals are on a sample ballot on the secretary of state’s website: http://1. usa.gov/1Km4cPi . Mississippi created its initiative process more than 20 years ago as a way for people to try to amend the state constitution if they think legislators are ignoring an important issue. Legislators gave themselves an option to make things more complicated by putting an alternative dealing with the same subject onto the same ballot. This year, with 42 and 42-A, is the first time they’ve done that. It likely won’t be the last.

â€˜Blood Moonâ€™ seen as apocalyptic sign SALT LAKE CITY â€” A rare confluence of a lunar eclipse and a supermoon set to happen this weekend has prompted such widespread fear of an impending apocalypse that the Mormon Church was compelled to issue a statement cautioning the faithful to not get caught up in speculation about a major calamity. Sunday nightâ€™s â€œblood moonâ€? and recent natural disasters and political unrest around the world have led to a rise in sales at emergencypreparedness retailers. Apocalyptic statements by a Mormon author have only heightened fears among a small number of Mormon followers about the looming end of time. The eclipse will give the moon a red tint and make it look larger than usual. It wonâ€™t happen again for 18 years. Itâ€™s unclear how many Latter-day Saints buy the theory, but Mormon leaders were worried enough that they took the rare step this week of issuing a public statement cautioning the faithful not to get carried away with visions of the apocalypse. Leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints told its 15 million worldwide members that they should be â€œspiritually and physically prepared for lifeâ€™s ups and downs,â€? but they urged them not to take speculation from individual church members as doctrine and â€œavoid being caught up in extreme efforts to anticipate catastrophic events.â€?

Visit New Hampshire offers regional reports of that stateâ€™s scenery, lodging and dining suggestions, points of interest and leaf peeper images. About 8.5 million people are expected to visit New Hampshire this fall, an increase of about 5 percent from last year, travel officials said. Spending from these visitors is anticipated to be up 7 percent, reaching $1.3 billion. The fall season is historically the second busiest season in the state, attracting more than 25 percent of all visitors to New Hampshire annually. Most visitors will be from the New England and Mid-Atlantic markets. The state is expected to see an increase this fall in overnight visits from more distant states, including Florida, California, Illinois and Texas. Low gas prices are helping the expected increase.

Pope kisses head of disabled child PHILADELPHIA â€” Pope Francis kissed the forehead of a boy with cerebral palsy after landing in Philadelphia on Saturday morning, coaxing a small smile from the severely disabled 10-year-old. Francis apparently spied Michael Keating as he was being driven away from the plane. Ordering the Fiat to stop, Francis got out and walked over to the boy, put his hand on his head and kissed him as his sobbing mother looked on. Kristin Keating thanked the pope, who grasped her hand. Francis also shook the hand of Keatingâ€™s husband,

Chuck Keating, the band director at Bishop Shanahan High School in Downingtown. The band serenaded Francis as he arrived in Philadelphia for the last leg of his six-day visit to the United States. â€œIt was an unbelievable feeling,â€? Kristin Keating said of the papal encounter, adding she felt â€œtotally blessed and lovedâ€? by the pope. Her son was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at 6 months old. He also has a profound intellectual disability as well as vision and hearing problems and cannot do anything for himself, communicating through various moans and cries. Â

Rep. Brady drinks from popeâ€™s glass PHILADELPHIA â€” Pope Francis wasnâ€™t the only person to drink from the glass of water he used during his speech to Congress. An enterprising Democratic congressman from Philadelphia also took a sip. U.S. Rep. Bob Brady, a Roman Catholic, told the Philadelphia Daily News that as the pope left the chamber Thursday, the lawmaker headed to the lectern to grab Francisâ€™ drinking glass. Brady said he took it to his office and had a drink. So did his wife, Debra, and two staffers, he said. â€œHow many people do you know that drank out of the same glass as the pope?â€? Brady asked. The congressman said he also invited fellow Catholic and Democrat U.S. Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania into his office. Casey, his wife and his mother dipped their fingers into the water, Brady said.

Binder plant closing in 2017, firing 230 MERIDIAN â€” A Canadian company is closing its binder plant in Meridian and moving operations to Mexico in 2017. CCL Industries says it will build a new $35 million binder plant in Guanajuato, Mexico, move label production to Tijuana, Mexico, and open a distribution center in Dallas. The Meridian Star reports the move will cost the jobs of more than 230 workers at the Meridian plant. The company says it canâ€™t make binders cheaply enough at the 37-year-old plant to compete with imports. The company, based in Toronto says it will offer employees transfers to other CCL locations in the United States. CCL says the restructuring will cost $5 million, but save $8 million a year once itâ€™s complete. Â

Christmas parade fees spark debate MCCOMB â€” The joy of Christmas may be priceless, but marching in the McComb Christmas parade will cost participants $30. In a debate that exuded little of the happiness usually associated with the holiday, McCombâ€™s mayor and Board of Selectmen have agreed to raise the fee for units to enter the parade from $5. The McComb Enterprise-Journal reports the board took the vote Tuesday. The city is taking over the parade from the Pike County Chamber of Commerce. Officials say the fee

aims to prevent unregistered people from demanding to march. Mayor Whitney Rawlings had proposed charging $40 as â€œquality control.â€? Tuesdayâ€™s debate became heated, as Selectwoman Tammy Witherspoon objected to the increase, saying McComb has long provided services for the parade. She proposed $30, which the board accepted. Â

AIDS leader urges broader use of drug JACKSON â€” Federal officials are asking Mississippi health care providers to expand use of a medicine that can keep people from getting AIDS. At a conference on minority HIV and health disparities, Douglas Brooks on Friday urged more use of the drug Truvada for people at risk of contracting HIV. Studies have found that the drug sharply reduce AIDS infection rates. â€œThe science is clear, this works,â€? said Brooks, director of the Office of National Aids Policy. â€œWhat we need to do is figure out how to get people access to this.â€? Dr. Leandro Mena, a University of Mississippi Medical Center professor who specializes in sexually transmitted diseases, says more than 100 patients at a Jackson clinic take the drug for pre-exposure prophylaxis. But he estimates 5,000 Mississippi residents â€” especially men who have sex with other men and intravenous drug users â€” could benefit. Brooks said overcoming the social stigma

associated with HIV in the South is a barrier to wider use. â€œWeâ€™re not talking about the stigma because thatâ€™s the hardest piece,â€? he said. He added that effective medicines wonâ€™t help â€œif people are afraid to take their medications at home or are afraid of taking their medications in front of their friends.â€? The yearly conference is intended to focus attention on the heavy rate of HIV infection in the South, especially among black men. Brooks cited statistics showing more than half of new HIV infections are in the South and more than half are in people aged 13 to 34. â€œWe want to really address and put an end to the HIV epidemic in our region,â€? Mena said. â€œWeâ€™re trying to make sure everyone knows their HIV status and has access to care.â€? Brooks urged caregivers to also expand testing for HIV, saying early detection and treatment is imperative. Beyond that, he said a broad spectrum of care, including mental health care and efforts to make sure people follow treatment regimens, need to be expanded.

After deciding on the image for her print, Whitehurst then needed the words to go along with it. â€œMary Linda Moore showed me a poem her granddaughter, Emma Hicks, had written at age seven and I was amazed at how powerful the words were. I couldnâ€™t imagine anything we could come up with that could be more appropriate or potent,â€? she said. â€œSince a lot of what the project does centers around children, it seemed the perfect fit. I was struck by the resiliency of what she had written as well as the power to keep coming back.â€? Offered for $35 at the

Saturday, Oct. 3 Green Market or by contacting Autry Davis, each print is a numbered edition of 200 and is designed to fit a standard 11x14 inch frame. â€œOur hope is to sell out and possibly do an open edition later on,â€? said the artist. â€œWe have a framed copy of the print displayed at the Corinth Artist Guild for those who would like to see what it looks like framed.â€? Writing since the age of six, Hicks regularly turns to journals to record her thoughts. â€œI think I have three so far,â€? said the young poet as she explained what first drew her to poetry. â€œI feel itâ€™s the best way for me to get my feelings out â€“ that

and listening to music. I often listen to music when I write because it gives me ideas and helps me imagine what I could write about.â€? In addition to shedding light on her writing habits, the 11-year-old also explained the origins of her poem, entitled â€œCan You Tell Me If You Love Meâ€? or â€œWings of Godâ€?. â€œI was really depressed when I wrote it and had been bouncing around to three different family members houses that day,â€? said the Burnsville 5th-grader. â€œWhen my nana first told me Jaylene had called and wanted to use my poem, I was very surprised. I didnâ€™t mind at the time, but later worried if people would like it.â€?

Her efforts were rewarded as her words are the perfect fit to compliment Whitehurstâ€™s mesmerizing image. In addition to the Green Market, prints will also be available for purchase by visiting Patsy Smith at Lakeside Frame Shop, located at 2584 US-72 in Glen. An open house will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 17 at Whitehurstâ€™s studio, The Ragged Phoenix.

up to be loaded. â€œWe sold 600 more the rest of that day and about another 600 the rest of that week,â€? said Street Commissioner Philip Verdung. â€œWe were planning to sell the rest on GovDeals, but we have had quite a bit of interest since we stopped the first sale.â€? Whatever is left after this sale will likely go on GovDeals, an Internet auction site where government agencies sell surplus items. Many of the buyers in the first sale were county garbage customers who did not have a cart at their home. â€œWeâ€™ve had about an equal number buying them for landscaping and feed bins,â€? said Verdung. While the carts can be handy for outdoor work, the city will no longer dump trash from them under any circumstances. Sale of the carts follows the purchase of 6,400 carts from Cascade Engineering Company. The old green carts are no longer manufactured and were becoming a chore to keep in service. Most of the old carts have a capacity of 90 gallons. The new, taller blue carts hold 96 gallons.

Daily Corinthian • Sunday, September 27, 2015 • 7A

Film inspires to educate According to Kimani Ng’ang’a Maruge, “the power is in the Stacy pen.” Very Jones few, if any, might The recognize Dowtowner Maruge’s name, but he holds an important distinction in The Guinness Book of World Records. His accomplishment was featured in the movie The First Grader, produced by National Geographic. To get a sense of Maruge’s history, one has to go back to Kenyan history. In the 1950s, the Kikiyu, an indigenous tribe in Kenya, revolted against British colonial rule. The anti-colonial nationalist fighters, known by some as Mau Mau, likely an anagram of the Kenyan phrase “get out get out,” fought to retain native owned Kenyan lands against the British, and, as a result, suffered terrible torture and punishment at the hands of the British. The conflict was the precursor for Kenya’s independence, which came in 1963. The campaign for free public primary education accompanied this independence, but in the 1980s, the government adopted several costsharing measures, including fees for textbooks and extracurricular activities. In 2003, Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki reintroduced free primary education. President Bill Clinton commended Kibabi in an ABC News interview with Peter Jennings, naming him as the one living person he would most like to meet “because of the Kenyan government’s decision to abolish school fees for

primary education,” suggesting that Kibaki had taken on a challenge that would impact more citizens than any other president that year. 1.7 million additional students enrolled in school in Kenya that year, and in the summer of 2005, Clinton and Kibaki met. One of those students was Kimani Ng’ang’a Maruge. However, Maruge was no ordinary 6- or 7-year-old. Maruge, a Kikiyu, was a veteran of the Mau Mau liberation. On Jan. 12, 2004, Maruge, presumed to be 84 years old, set the record for oldest person to enroll in primary school. He had no papers to document his age but believed himself to have been born in 1920. The film, based on Maruge’s quest, reveals both the Kenyan struggle and Maruge’s own personal struggle. At first, he has to convince the teacher to allow him to attend school. He must procure a uniform to fit him, and he has to walk to school each day, where he must sit near the front of the small classroom because he does not see well. Almost everyone in the movie is skeptical of such an old man’s attempts at education. His aged peers, who congregate to share beer and conversation, scoff at him as he treks to and from school each day. Those in charge of the school administration are reluctant to allow Maruge to participate in the system, despite the initial newspaper advertisements that vaguely outlined “free public education for all.” The townspeople and parents are not certain about Maruge’s motives or place in the primary school classroom and ultimately begin to believe that both

he and the young woman who plays his teacher in the film are being compensated by the press. His classroom peers, however, accept him unequivocally and learn from him several times in the environment of their impoverished one-room school. When their teacher is forced to relocate to another school because she has allowed Maruge to remain in the classroom, the students revolt and throw objects at the group of administrators escorting their teacher’s replacement. Their beloved teacher is allowed to return. Although not depicted in the movie, Maruge, a model student, was elected by his classmates as “head boy” of his school in 2005, the same year he boarded a plane for the first time and came to the New York City to speak to the United Nations on the importance of free primary education. The film is not perfect and can be melodramatic at times, but the schoolchildren are wonderfully portrayed by local village youngsters, and the most significant theme pertains to overcoming oppression and subjugation — both political and mental — through educational attainment. It conveys a message of value: as Maruge says at one point, based on an adage passed down to him, “I’ll keep learning till I have soil in my ears.” After completing five years of primary education, Maruge died in 2009. (Daily Corinthian columnist Stacy Jones teaches English at McNairy Central High School and UT Martin and has served on the board of directors at Corinth Theatre-Arts. She enjoys being a downtown Corinth resident.)

dards, but oil producers warn the changes could drive up costs for consumers at the gas pump. The California Air Resources Board voted 9-0 to re-adopt its low-carbon fuel standard. The regulations have been on hold since 2009 because of a court fight. The board says the change would cost a typical commuter $20 to $24 extra in 2017, increasing to $52 to $56 annually in 2020. The rules require producers to cut the carbon content of fuels 10 percent by 2020 to help the state meet its emissionreductions goals. Environmentalists and some business groups say the plan will encourage greater use of cleaner biofuels and electric vehicles. Oil producers say itâ€™s unworkable and too costly. â€œThe transportation sector is and will remain the largest source of greenhouse gases in the state of California but weâ€™ve made some serious strides and we need to continue to build on those actions,â€? Mary Nichols, chairwoman of the board, said before the vote. The move to restore the program is not related to Volkswagen drawing international attention for violating separate federal and state rules that regulate emissions from vehicles. The passage was a boost for Gov. Jerry Brown, who has vowed to intensify his fight against climate change after the oil lobby helped kill a Democratic legislative proposal earlier this month to slash statewide petroleum use by half in 15 years. Unlike other rules the state has adopted requiring cleaner-burning fuel or more fuel-efficient vehicles, the standard, first proposed in a 2007 executive order from then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, calls for counting all the pollution required to deliver gasoline, diesel or alternative fuels to in-state consumers â€” from drilling a new oil well or planting corn to delivering it to gas stations. In addition to tailpipe emissions, it includes factors such as whether an ethanol factory uses coal or natural gas to power production or an oil rig uses diesel fuel to drill.
